Joel Madden got into a fistfight with MTV ‘The Hills’ star Spencer Pratt at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Saturday following some nasty comments S.P made about Joel’s ‘Baby Mama’ Nicole Richie in an In Touch Weekly interview.

Spencer claims Joel approached him and GF Heidi as they were dining and stated: “You’ve been talking shit about my girl!”

Nicole and Joel had to be escorted out of the posh Beverly Hills digs.

Spencer says:

“I was sitting having a quiet lunch with Heidi when Nicole walked in and started pointing at me and then whispering to Joel. He storms over and starts shouting, ‘You’ve been talking s**t about my girl.’ I told him, ‘Please can we not do this at the Beverly Hills Hotel. This is ridiculous.’ Then he started screaming and calling me names.”

“It all stems from an interview in (American magazine) Details ages ago where I was misquoted calling Nicole a skinny bitch. It’s all a misunderstanding. I’ve always thought she’s a really nice girl and I wouldn’t call her that.”
